This is the first live concert movie from George Michael. He also says it will be the only one he ever releases. If that's true, it's a fine record to leave behind of his 2006/2007 "25 Live Tour." I saw him twice myself on that tour and it was spectacular. I saw him once indoors and once outdoors and the vast screen and lighting behind him looked far better indoors in the dark.
This concert was recorded indoors at Earls Court in London in August 2007. George is in fine voice throughout and does some surprising cover versionsin particular an excellent version of Nina Simone's "Feelin' Good." All his greatest hits are here including "Faith" "Careless Whisper" and "Outside" and old Wham! favourites like "I'm Your Man" and "Everything She Wants."
There's some fascinating backstage footage between songs showing him towelling off, doing costume changes and using obscene amounts of hairspray before running back on to thrill the crowd. George is exhausted by the end but he gives it his all and you won't be disappointed when you see this show. It's great entertainment from start to finish.
